# Chapter 478: The Truth Behind the Blame
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 478 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — a chapter full of sharp remarks, tangled emotions, lingering jealousy, and a quarrel that reveals far more than either side intends to admit. If you're ready, let's dive right into the storm between Xavier and Leia!
---
The entertainment circle was buzzing, as it always did when a scandal erupted. And anyone who paid even a little attention to the gossip columns instantly recognized the so-called rich young lady who had supposedly torn two lovers apart — because it was none other than Leia. In public, Shirley had masterfully played the role of the poor, pitiful, innocent woman in this tragic love triangle. She made herself look like the heartbroken victim, abandoned and betrayed, while Leia was painted as the shameless, ruthless homewrecker who had snatched away the man Shirley claimed to love.
The interview aired, spreading like wildfire. And somewhere in the midst of all that chaos, Xavier sat watching Shirley's performance with an unreadable expression. This was dangerous territory. Anyone close to him would know that the best way to provoke him into saying something outrageous was to poke at his feelings for Leia — and that was exactly what he intended to do now.
Leia was already fuming. But then Xavier, with annoyingly calm composure, delivered his verdict: "She's telling the truth, actually."
Leia froze.
Xavier continued, his tone oddly thoughtful as if he were recalling some distant, sentimental memory. "Her first encounter with me was rather touching. If I hadn't helped her in time, she would have been sold to those men. I even helped pay her medical bills and saved her family. After that, I used my connections to get her a role in a movie. She won a grand prize because of it, and eventually became the best actress..."
On the surface, he seemed to be defending Shirley. But Leia knew him too well. He was saying all of this deliberately, trying to stir jealousy in her heart. He wanted a reaction. He wanted proof — any little sign — that she still cared about him.
And Leia, unsurprisingly, couldn't hold back. A cold, sarcastic sneer spread across her face as she fired back: "Wow, what a touching love affair! But then how did it end up like this? Hmm? Is it because of that rich young lady? Was she a homewrecker?"
Her voice was dripping with mockery. She was baiting him, challenging him to answer.
Xavier, however, didn't flinch. Instead, he answered honestly. "It's not the only reason... but it is one of the reasons."
A brief silence fell between them. Then Xavier went on, and this time, his words carried a faint trace of vulnerability beneath the calm. Before he bumped into Leia, he had been completely obsessed with Shirley. Deeply in love, even. He had truly wanted to spend the rest of his life with that woman.
But then he discovered the unthinkable — Shirley had been fooling around with his own father.
That betrayal shattered something inside him. It made him begin to doubt everything in his life. He no longer wanted to trust anyone, let alone risk falling in love again. Xavier built walls around his heart, cynical and guarded — until Leia came into his world.
Xavier admitted that perhaps he'd seen her as a kind of salvation. Or maybe he'd just wanted a distraction from the pain. Either way, he couldn't deny that Leia had undeniably helped him escape that ill-fated relationship. In that sense — and in Xavier's warped logic — she had, in a way, meddled in his love affair with Shirley.
That was the final straw.
Leia's eyes blazed with fury. She shot to her feet, ready to lunge at him. "Are you out of your mind, Xavier?! What does any of this have to do with me? You can't protect that witch like this! How dare you blame me!"
Her voice shook with righteous indignation. She had absolutely no intention of being painted as some meddling troublemaker in his failed romance.
But Xavier, instead of backing down, did what he always did best — he changed the game. He rose slowly, meeting her fiery gaze with a shameless smirk and began flirting with her in that arrogant way of his.
"I was being honest. I did have a change of heart because of you. And I just couldn't help it, since you're so charming. Can you please stop being so attractive and seducing me?"
Leia's anger stuttered for a moment, thrown completely off guard. Her face flushed. "How dare you..."
Xavier arched an eyebrow, stepping closer. "What's wrong with what I said?" He tilted his head, studying her pinkening cheeks. "Do you think that you're not attractive? Or do you think you didn't seduce me?"
Then, with one swift movement, he closed the distance and took hold of her wrist. His voice dropped low, almost dangerously intimate. "You bewitched me... then ignored me. Honestly, Leia, you're more detestable than Shirley ever was."
"Shut up!" Leia's face turned beet red. She struggled to pull her wrist free, her heart hammering violently in her chest. "I... I don't buy it!"
She refused to admit it — refused to give him the satisfaction. But the way she stumbled over her words betrayed just how deeply his teasing affected her.
Meanwhile, Owen stood nearby, watching the entire spectacle unfold with complete bewilderment. He slowly turned to Stefan and asked, in a voice full of genuine confusion, "Are they always so dramatic?"

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter was a delicious mess! Xavier is maddening, shameless, and yet somehow irresistible in his own arrogant way. His tactic of deliberately provoking Leia just to see if she still cared was both childish and strangely romantic. And Leia — fiery, defensive, and utterly flustered — cannot hide behind her anger no matter how hard she tries. Their chemistry practically burns through the pages. Meanwhile, Owen's deadpan question at the end was the perfect comic relief. I laughed, I cringed, and I loved every bit of their bickering tension.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
After this explosive confrontation, I predict Leia will try even harder to distance herself from Xavier — but her obvious emotional reaction will only encourage him to pursue her more relentlessly. Meanwhile, Shirley's staged public narrative isn't going to stay unchallenged for long. Someone is bound to dig deeper into her past claims, and if Xavier keeps exposing the truth while teasing Leia, this love triangle could explode into something far messier than anyone expected!
